The proposed class action doesn’t include the number of class members but the complaint states the class includes any California resident who has consumed the FRC rice from April 28, 2010, through the present. The premium medium-grain “401 M” rice is sold under brand names, “New Variety,” “New Rose,” or “Imperial Rose”.

The owners of Jinju Sushi allege the “defendants store and maintain rice in such a fashion as to allow foreign substances such as insects, rodents and their soiling, bird remains and black mold to be present in its processed rice.”
